The Cowboy Lyrics - C.w. Mccall

(Ron Agnew) 

The cowboy will never get married to you, girl 

It's the fightin' that he just can't bear 

But when there's women and whisky and beer-drinkin' brawls 

The cowboy will always be there 

He'll sing you sad songs, girl, 'cause that's all he knows 

And soon you'll be listenin' to 

Solutions to problems you don't even have 

As he unloads his wisdoms on you 

He'll have you believin' he's one-of-a-kind 

And that his kind knows what livin's for 

He's a dreamer by nature, a liar, and soon 

He'll have you believin' he's more 

He'll say he's a loner, to cover the truth 

Some sympathy might see him through 

Just a hand on his shoulder and a bottle of that booze 

Then all he'll be needin' is you 

He'll drink all your whisky, to clear out his head 

Of the drinkin' he's already known 

And with a little persuasion, he'll lie in your bed 

And when you wake up, you're alone 

Now you're feelin' sorry, and the cowboy is gone 

He just a-has ta be a-movin' along 

But honey when you get lonesome, turn your radio on 

And the cowboy will sing you a song
